M4 engineers carry out six sets of roadworks in Berkshire this week

Work on the M4 near Wokingham and Bracknell means a speed restriction will be put in place

Drivers using a 33 mile stretch of the M4 this week are being warned of reduced speed limits and lane closures as resurfacing and repairs continue.

From Tuesday, December 6 overnight lane closures will be in place on both the east and westbound carriageways between junctions 11 for Reading and 12 for Theale. This is so a new road surface can be laid.

The work will take place between 10pm and 6am and will last for three nights.

In addition, the westbound carriageway will be closed on Friday night - from 10pm until 6am on Saturday, December 10 - and motorists will be diverted along the A33 and A4 (Bath Road). This means drivers wanting to make a stop at the Reading Moto Services will have to drive along to Chieveley.

Drivers using service stations in Reading, Cheiveley and Membury are warned to check their doors are locked after a number of thefts from vehicles .
